Electric cordless power tools have a lot to offer. Especially if you are looking for something lightweight and easy to handle. You can’t beat electric for handling. It has none of the heavy machinery of a combustion engine; Just an electric power tool is just your power source, the battery and your simple electric motor. The only downside usually is that you either sacrifice power or endurance. This is because a battery cell is typically quite restricted compared with fossil fuels. But the Stihl BGA 200 Blower looks to change that by marrying the best of electric with additional power.
Electric Blower with Power – And Fewer Issues
This is a cordless blower that can manage air speeds of up to 84 metres per second and a blowing force of 21 newtons. This is enough for professional as well as heavy domestic use. One of the advantages of electric is that it also tends to have significantly lower noise output. With the BGA 200, no ear protection is necessary.
Good (lack of) Vibrations
A serious issue that can occur with any extensive use of a power tool is that the vibrations can lead to unpleasant side effects and even precipitate repetitive injuries such as strain and carpel tunnel syndrome. The BGA 200 has fewer vibrations having dispensed of the two-stroke engine. When coupled with a carrying system, the majority of the weight and vibrations can be taken off your hand and arms.
Adding Battery Power
The usual limitation with such a high power cordless electric device is the battery. To counter this, the BGA 200 supports the Stihl battery backpack range. These can add significant longevity to your machine. For example, the Stihl AR 2000 L adds up to 500 hours of usage on a single charge. and about 53 hours on a single charge at maximum strength. This is carried on your back with an excellently designed strap that distributes the weight such that while the weight of the pack is significant, you hardly notice it.
The BGA 200 also supports the AR 3000 L which in turn provides up to 117 hours of power at maximum ‘boost’ strength. Suffice to say there’s plenty of charge to get you through a working day.
